The first two episodes of the Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome webseries are here, so... I no longer have to post clips or trailers about them. Yay! They're both over 10 minutes long, and since I have a Very Special FFF to get ready for later, so I haven't watched all of them -- I just saw enough of the first to learn the reason Adama survived the clip from the other day was that he was in a sim, and apparently you don't get docked points for killing yourself as long as you kill all the enemies first. Also I learned that Bill signs letters to his dad as "William Adama," which seems a tad formal to me, but whatevs. Episode 2 is after the jump. (Via The Mary Sue)

From the reality-ends-up-being-a-hologram intro, to the cocky pilot 's arrival aboard ship, to the war-weary partner, to the assignment of a simple mission that you just know is going to action-packed, it was all very much been there, done that.

A sim? Well, then is the most idiotic sim I've ever seen in Sci-Fi, since it lets you pull crap like that. Even Kirk had to hack the computer for the Kobayashi Maru test, he couldn't just "have his way" in that.

@CaptainZADL Oh come on. We all know the Rob Bricken role is like James Bond. Someone else will come along to play the role for a while, and then someone else...but in the end, there will be only ONE man who really, truly inhabited the role.
